Townsend may make surprise Scotland return

SCOTLAND legend Gregor Townsend is considering a possible return to the international arena in the autumn Test series.

New national head coach Frank Hadden has left the door open for the injured 32-year-old after naming his first official training squad on Wednesday.

Townsend was dropped from the Scotland team when Matt Williams succeeded Ian McGeechan, despite being the country’s most-capped player after 82 appearances.
